撒母耳记上15:16~23
16 撒母耳对扫罗说：「你住口吧！等我将耶和华昨夜向我所说的话告诉你。」扫罗说：「请讲。」
17 撒母耳对扫罗说：「从前你虽然以自己为小，岂不是被立为以色列支派的元首吗？耶和华膏你作以色列的王。
18 耶和华差遣你，吩咐你说，你去击打那些犯罪的亚玛力人，将他们灭绝净尽。
19 你为何没有听从耶和华的命令，急忙掳掠财物，行耶和华眼中看为恶的事呢？」
20 扫罗对撒母耳说：「我实在听从了耶和华的命令，行了耶和华所差遣我行的路，擒了亚玛力王亚甲来，灭尽了亚玛力人。
21 百姓却在所当灭的物中，取了最好的牛羊，要在吉甲献与耶和华－你的神。」
22 撒母耳说： 耶和华喜悦燔祭和平安祭， 岂如喜悦人听从他的话呢？ 听命胜于献祭； 顺从胜于公羊的脂油。
23 悖逆的罪与行邪术的罪相等； 顽梗的罪与拜虚神和偶像的罪相同。 你既厌弃耶和华的命令， 耶和华也厌弃你作王。
16 “Enough!” Samuel said to Saul. “Let me tell you what the Lord said to me last night.” “Tell me,” Saul replied.
17 Samuel said, “Although you were once small in your own eyes, did you not become the head of the tribes of Israel? The Lord anointed you king over Israel.
18 And he sent you on a mission, saying, ‘Go and completely destroy those wicked people, the Amalekites; wage war against them until you have wiped them out.’
19 Why did you not obey the Lord? Why did you pounce on the plunder and do evil in the eyes of the Lord?”
20 “But I did obey the Lord,” Saul said. “I went on the mission the Lord assigned me. I completely destroyed the Amalekites and brought back Agag their king.
21 The soldiers took sheep and cattle from the plunder, the best of what was devoted to God, in order to sacrifice them to the Lord your God at Gilgal.”
22 But Samuel replied: “Does the Lord delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the Lord? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams.
23 For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and arrogance like the evil of idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, he has rejected you as king.”
